C#5                      B5                               A5                               C#5 
They said we don?take your kind no we don?want no guys  like you 
C#5                          B5                                   A5                                   C#5 
I lied my way until December hoping Christmas would pull me through 
       F#5                  B5                  E5                        B5             C#5 
And then I hung around thinking religion would take its toll 
        F#5                      B5                                       E5                   B5           C#5 
The lord threw no signs that day it seemed that no one would take me at all 
         F#5           B5                   C#5 
Then I saw the light on the stage 
 
CHORUS
                   C#5                     E5 
And I said sing with me oh sing with me 
   B5                               C#5 
Sing with me all night long 
          C#5                                   E5                           B5                      C#5 
Then hold me close until the morning sun comes searching for the dawn 
 
 
I hitched my way back to Houston where I knew that I?find a home 
My mother claimed no vacancy in this new house that I?never known 
I found myself a stray all alone caught up in the midst of my pain 
In the howling winds of the night I swore someone was calling my name 
I turned only to see the light on the stage 
 
CHORUS 
 
I took my last dollar made some change and I called a friend 
He said that?no problem pal you know we?love to take you in 
So he helped me through my trials with some peace from the lord above 
Next thing I know I?on the stage doing everything that I?dreamed of 
Now it seems that I am the light on the stage 
Now it seems that we are the lights on the stage 
 
CHORUS 2X
